  • I don't know how much influence coaches have on schedule, but maybe McD should go find his friend hat.

        Everything I’ve ever read, and seen hinted at indicates coaches have a massive influence on schedule. In many respects, the AD works for the coaches in D1 revenue sports, not the other way around. If McD or Prohm wanted a UNI series, it would happen.

        • Has anybody heard Harris or Pollard talk about a possibility of playing in the Dome? The increased revenue from a larger venue might help make it financially feasible. I would love to see it happen, but I haven't even heard any report mention the Dome as a possibility.

              Did you ever watch a basketball game in the UNI Dome? That was so Div 2. We aren't going back.

                Nope, never seen a MBB game in the Dome. I'm just trying to find some hope that Iowa State could play in Cedar Falls again.

                  It was just really weird. Lots of echo in there and the darkness beyond the court was discomforting, to say the least (I was only there for games scheduled at night).

                    Horrible environment

                    **** the cyclones if they don’t want to play in the McLeod. Move on from them.

                      But it was so darn cool when 22,797 of us watched UNI beat the Hawkeyes on 1/3/1990!!

                        One of about four times there was anything resembling a basketball atmosphere in there.

                        It's a horrible place for basketball. There's absolutely no need to ever play there again.

                          Totally agree.

                          If Iowa and ISU can't handle a quality game against an in-state rival like UNI who has 7 tourney appearances in 15 years, then F them.

                          Go play Bryant and Texas Pan America you clowns.
                          Winning is more fun than losing.

                            I've heard about UNI beating the Hoks in the Dome. Most of you seem to think you have good reasons to not have games in the Dome, but this one alone makes it something I would love to see.

                              Here's one reason: money

                                Money trumps atmosphere in a time of budget cuts. The only teams that would be viable are Iowa and ISU, and it would need to be a massive guarantee to make that happen. Not sure if the math works for the visitors though.
